abortion, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, creationism, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Politics, religion, theology

Frank responds to listener questions and a charge that he is ignoring facts. He also exposes media deception in this election cycle, and shows the shocking connection between the abortion pill and Zyklon B (the gas the Nazis used in the gas chambers). Questions include: What is the most important question that humans can ask and why can’t we discuss it in public schools? What’s the best way for Christian teachers to discuss faith matters with students without referring to the Bible? How can Christians vote for someone who doesn’t act like a Christian? Does that make us hypocrites? How has the media repeatedly taken Donald Trump’s statements out of context? What are some good and fair media sources? If the majority of abortions are “pharmaceutical” what’s the big deal?…

Biblical Inerrancy and the Young vs. Old Earth Debate | with Dr. Hugh Ross

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, creationism, Dr. Frank Turek, Hugh Ross, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology

Can you believe in biblical inerrancy AND hold to the old earth creation model? There’s been an intramural debate brewing between old earth and young creationists, and some evangelical scholars say it’s time to rethink the bedrock doctrine of biblical inerrancy in order for Christianity to remain viable in the intellectual sphere. But what do the Scriptures, along with what we can observe scientifically, reveal about creation and the age of the earth? To help us answer that question is astrophysicist, Christian apologist, author, and founder of Reasons to Believe, Dr. Hugh Ross, who joins Frank from the SES 2024 Steadfast conference, right before his debate with young earth creationist, Dr. Terry Mortenson. In defense of the old earth position, Dr. Hugh Ross will unpack what Genesis 1 shows us about cosmology and will tackle questions like: How…

Toxic Empathy | with Allie Beth Stuckey Plus Q&A

Allie Beth Stuckey, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology

Why are so many Christians being led astray by statements like “abortion is healthcare,” “trans women are women,” and “love is love”? These catchy phrases have convinced some believers and conservatives to adopt views aligned with social justice movements—even on issues like illegal immigration. But do these ideas truly align with biblical truth, or are they carefully packaged lies that distort Christian values? This week, conservative commentator and Christian author, Allie Beth Stuckey joins Frank to talk about the inspiration behind her brand new book, ‘Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion‘, which explores real life examples of how compassion has been weaponized against Christians, ultimately shaming evangelicals into supporting and celebrating policies that violate the Christian worldview. During their conversation, Frank and Allie will answer questions like: What are the 5 main…

Silence Equals Consent: The Sin of Omission | with Bill Federer

Bill Federer, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Donald Trump, Dr. Frank Turek, Kamala Harris, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Problem of Evil, religion, theology

Why do so many Christians find it acceptable to stay silent in the face of evil? The idea that politics are merely “worldly” and that disengaging from culture is the best path forward has deceived far too many Christians into falling in line with cultural norms. But if the Church continues to withdraw from what’s going on in the world, who’s going to be left in charge? This week, historian and bestselling author Bill Federer joins Frank to discuss his latest book, ‘Silence Equals Consent -The Sin of Omission: Speak Now or Forever Lose Your Freedom.‘ In this eye-opening episode, they dive deep into the Church’s history of political indifference and explore why now, more than ever, Christians must engage with the world to preserve (religious) freedom. Together, Frank and Bill tackle key questions,…

The Eclipse of God with | Dr. Erwin Lutzer

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Erwin Lutzer, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Problem of Evil, religion, theology

Is the American Church still shining as the light of Christ, or have we made too many compromises in the name of “tolerance” and “inclusion”? As darkness in our nation grows, it’s becoming clear that the faith of many has become cloudy and confused, leading to the rise of secularism and threats to the freedoms once rooted in the Christian worldview. Where are we headed, and what lessons from the past should serve as warnings for our future? This week, Frank sits down with the one and only Dr. Erwin Lutzer about his brand new book, ‘The Eclipse of God: Our Nation’s Disastrous Search for a More Inclusive Deity (and What We Must Do About It)‘, which explores how America is attempting to redefine God, replacing Him with one made in our image. Dr.…

Boy Swept Away by Floodwaters: Why Didn’t God Save Him? | with Dr. Clay Jones and Dan Hodges

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Clay Jones, Dan Hodges, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Problem of Evil, religion, theology

How could a good God allow such evil, pain, and suffering to take place in this world? And why doesn’t He intervene to save good people or young children when disaster strikes? The aftermath and utter devastation caused by Hurricane Helene has many questioning, “Where is God when things go wrong”? What is the best way to address these questions and how can we find God and meaning for life in the midst of these tragic events? Life has been especially hard for those in the western part of North Carolina since Hurricane Helene struck last week, leaving residents without access to food and water, and claiming the lives of countless victims due to unprecedented flash flooding and fallen debris.

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Owen Anderson, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology

Are secular universities intentionally shaping a generation of Marxists? Parents and students need to be aware of the social and political atmosphere that awaits them when they step foot on a college campus. How should Christian students respond when they encounter professors and peers pushing views that are in high opposition with their faith? Last week, Dr. Owen Anderson shared five key philosophical challenges Christian students will likely face during their college years. This week, he’s back with five more, breaking down the flaws in these worldviews, how they infiltrated universities, and how to defend Christianity against them. Are some professors secretly promoting Marxist ideas? Why is student activism at an all-time high and how are colleges preying on the 18-25 age group? Is logic being dismissed as a “white” concept? How are existentialism,…

Ten Philosophical Challenges Christian Students Face at Secular University

The Christian student who attends a secular university will encounter very recognizable challenges to his/her Christian faith. As a professor who has taught in a secular university for 24 years, attended faculty meetings where professors discuss how to deconstruct the faith of Christian students, and seen firsthand the animosity administrators have toward Christianity, I am giving you an inside look at the workings of the secular university. Did God Really Say . . . ? I have outlined these ten challenges to illustrate the original temptation in order to show that they follow a similar strategy and that little has changed. “Did God really say? . . . You will not surely die” (Gen. 3:1). God knows the day you eat you will be as God knowing good and evil.…
